Pierre-Joseph Redouté
1759-1840, Botanical painter
Pierre-Joseph Redouté is the best-known botanical illustrator of any era, a reputation due in no small part to the quality of his plates in Les Roses.
Les Roses was published in thirty instalments between 1817 and 1824. The plates were made by stipple engraving, in dots rather than lines, which renders the soft gradations of the original watercolours.
